THE FOUR RULES

1. ALL GUNS ARE ALWAYS LOADED.

2. NEVER POINT YOUR MUZZLE AT SOMETHING YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO DESTROY.

3. KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER UNTIL YOUR SIGHTS ARE ON THE TARGET AND YOU ARE READY TO SHOOT.

4. KNOW YOUR TARGET AND WHAT'S BEYOND.

Winston Churchill said"A GENTLEMAN, SELDOM, IF EVER, NEEDS A GUN.BUT WHEN HE DOES, HE NEEDS IT VERY BADLY!"

Si Vis Paceum Para Bellum

Sam Adams, more than beer

“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquillity of servitude than the animating contest of freedom, — go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen” ― Samuel Adams

Lincoln on power

"We must prevent these things being done, by either congresses or courts — The people — the people — are the rightful masters of both Congresses, and courts — not to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow the men who pervert it —" Abraham Lincoln

What's another chip off of our 2A rights? They've almost completely destroyed both the 2nd and 4th Amendments. Think you have a right against unwarranted search? The next time a cop wants to search your car, tell him no. See how long it takes for a drug dog to show up and "alert" to your car. Now they want to ban one of the most popular rounds for the AR. On top of all of the unconstitutional laws that some states have passed banning "certain" guns and standard capacity magazines. You should all be writing your congress critters and demanding that the ATF stop trying to desecrate the 2nd Amendment.

Jobs? Just how many cab drivers and 7/11 clerks do we need? I don't think these people are looking for jobs.

In the opening of the George C. Scott movie Patton, he said " no son of a bitch ever won a war by dying for his country, He wins a war by making the other son of a bitch die for his country". We won WWII by killing Germans and Japanese until they decided that it was time to call it a day. Afterwards, we helped both countries rebuild and today they are our allies. I don't recall our troops landing on the beaches with job applications.

This administration has been a joke from day one. Maybe we should give this woman a folder full of applications and drop her on the Syria/Iraq border.

The story is in three parts: Billy, Jane, and Betty. Each part provides adifferent perspective on a “compliance inspection” following a national gunban/confiscation.

If you publish my agitprop, please attribute the story to “Anonymous Reader” orsomething similar.

BILLY’S NEW BIKE

BILLY

Billy was a boy like most boys. Billy liked to climb trees, watch the birds andsquirrels, and play baseball with his friends.

But, most of all, Billy wanted a bicycle. A red bicycle.

Billy was so glad the United Nations Peace Force had come to town. Before thePeace Force came, Billy’s mother wouldn’t let Billy play outside. “Toodangerous, too many guns” she would say. Now, Billy could climb trees, watch thebirds and squirrels, and play baseball with his friends.

Billy became friends with Zafir. Billy and Zafir were best friends. Zafir was asoldier with the Peace Force. Zafir would give Billy candy and let Billy ride inhis big white Peace Force truck. Billy hoped that when he grew up, he coulddrive a big white truck for the Peace Force, just like Zafir.

One day, Zafir asked Billy if he would like to do something special. Zafir saidthe Peace Force had to go visit a bad man who had kept some guns. Zafir letBilly ride up front in the cab of the truck as the Peace Force drove to thehouse of the bad man.

At the bad man’s house, Zafir asked Billy to sit in the cab of the truck andwatch the truck. What fun! Billy was going to help the Peace Force! Zafir toldBilly to lay down on the seat of the truck if the bad man started shooting hisguns. Zafir told Billy to be brave.

Zafir and the Peace Force went into the bad man’s house. Billy heard shooting.The shooting must be the bad man shooting at Zafir and the men in the PeaceForce, Billy thought. So, Billy laid down on the seat of the truck, just likeZafir had told him to do.

Billy started hearing a woman scream. At first, Billy was scared. But, then heremembered that his friend had told him to be brave.

“Hi, Ms. Franklin, how are things? Is there anything I can do for you?”

“Yes, Sergeant Ghazwan. It’s been one month since the firearms amnesty expired.I want to do a story on gun owners who didn’t turn in their guns before theamnesty expired. I need something dramatic, something which can be the leadstory on tonight’s six o’clock news.”

“Ms. Franklin, what did you have in mind? Compliance with the firearms surrenderorder was surprisingly high. Since the amnesty expired, we have found less thanten firearms in compliance inspections. In fact, we are still processing theamnesty forms.”

“Well, Sergeant Ghazwan… how about doing one of those compliance inspections.Certainly there is some gun nut who still has an arsenal of weapons he hasn’tturned in. Certainly your computers can find someone like that.”

“Ms. Franklin, let me see what I can find. I’ll get back with you.”

“Thank you, Sergeant Ghazwan. Good-bye.”

“Good-bye, Ms. Franklin.”

“Hello, Steve. Today marks one month since the amnesty period to turn in gunsexpired. Today United Nations Peace Force soldiers executed a raid against asuspect who had not surrendered his guns during the amnesty period. [Viewers seetape of the Peace Force soldiers starting to enter the Wallace residence.] PeaceForce officials had reason to believe that the suspect, David Wallace, hadillegal guns in his home.”

“In their search, Peace Force personnel found nine guns, including assaultrifles and handguns.” [Viewers see the nine guns seized in previous raids whichwere on display at the Peace Force compound.]

“Wallace was a life NRA member with ties to anti-government militiaorganizations.” [Viewers see the bumper stickers on David Wallace’s car.]

“Peace Force soldiers have had, and will continue to have compliance inspectionssuch as this one today to insure that all guns are purged from society. We needto thank the Peace Force soldiers for helping us take back our streets fromthese gun criminals.”

“Back to you, Steve.”

“Thanks for that report Jane. In other news….”

BETTY

“Hey, David. Why is that U.N. truck stopping in front of our house? And there’sa Channel 6 news van pulling up right behind. DAVID, I TOLD YOU TO TURN IN ALLTHE GUNS!”

As David Wallace heads to the back of his home to retrieve the surrenderreceipt, the front door crashes open, and a staccato of machine gun fire erupts,deafening inside the enclosed space of the house. Blood sprays from the David’sback and he slumps to the floor, dead.

Betty Wallace screams. Two United Nations Peace Force soldiers immediately grabher and knock her to the floor. Betty continues to scream. One of the PeaceForce soldiers savagely kicks her in the side of the head. Betty lays suddenlyquiet as blood oozes from the side of her head and begins to pool on the floor.

The remainder of the squad enters the Wallace home. Sergeant Ghazwan beginsbarking orders. Sergeant Ghazwan steps over to Betty. He nudges her with the toeof his boot, and sees her stir. “Men, listen up. You can have the American whoreAFTER you finish searching for guns.”

A chorus of chuckles, laughs, and hoots erupt from the Peace Force soldiers.

The Peace Force soldiers begin systematically searching and ransacking the home,ostensibly searching for hidden firearms. Doors are torn off their hinges. Wallsare kicked in. Mattresses and seat cushions are slashed open. The contents ofdrawers are emptied onto floors. Table lamps are smashed open to be sure thatnothing is hidden inside. Currency, jewelry, and other small items of valuevanish quietly into pockets as the soldiers search.

One of the soldiers produces a small metal detector and begins checking doorcasings, stairs, and ceilings for indications of hidden metal. An ax is used toinvestigate any indications of metal. Door casings are broken open, stair treadsare pulled up, and holes are punched in the ceiling and walls as this searchprogresses.

Betty Wallace begins to sit up, moaning quietly, holding the side of her headwere she was kicked. Sergeant Ghazwan points his gun at her. “Whore, if you moveor cry out, I’ll shoot you.” Betty leans against a wall and begins to quietly cry.

One of the soldiers searches the kitchen, finding several cans of beer in therefrigerator and a bottle of whiskey in a cabinet. The alcohol interrupts thesearch as members of the Peace Force converge to share the spoils. Later, arefrigerator in the garage produces more beer, much to the approval of the soldiers.

The search begins to wind down; there’s not much left to be destroyed. The PeaceForce soldiers begin filing back into the Wallace’s living room. One of thesoldiers, with a malicious grin, clutches a slinky night gown he found inBetty’s bedroom closet. The other soldiers let out approving grunts when shownthe night gown.

With all soldiers present, Sergeant Ghazwan asks if any firearms or othercontraband were found. All respond in the negative. One of the solders producesthe distinctive receipt David Wallace had received when he surrendered hisfirearms three months ago. Sergeant Ghazwan approvingly takes the receipt andexamines it. He then folds it, and carefully puts it in his breast pocket.

“Men, we’ve got the Channel 6 news crew outside. I’m going to go outside andtalk to them. I’m going to leave this American whore with you. Don’t hurt hertoo bad. I already have to fill out one report because of you trigger-happyclowns. I do not want to have to do a second report. Be careful.”

“One more thing – keep quiet and KEEP HER QUIET….”

Think it can't happen here? It already has.

American troops burying the dead after the battle of Wounded Knee. Or you could ask George Takei of Star Trek fame about the years he spent in a Japanese internment camp in the early 40's.
